His father passed away when he was very young after which his mother Naini (Dimple Kapadia) married Prajapati Pandey (Vinod Khanna).

Makhanchan ends up carrying out acts oblivious to the consequences. When he realizes he has been used, he turns to Chulbul. Will Chulbul take his extended hand? Will the brothers be able to thwart their detractors?Will this time, Chulbul's fearlessness channelize itself positively and reunite him with his family?

Salman Khan's Shining Moment
Dabangg is in my top three of all-time favorite Hindi movies. It's Salman Khan's show all the way, but so many other elements of the film are wonderful as well. The technicolor opening credits let you know that this film is not going to take itself entirely seriously, which is confirmed when, in the middle of one of the opening action sequences, Salman breaks into a hilarious little dance to the tune of a mobile ringtone.The film centers on Chulbul Pandey, a sometimes-corrupt, sometimes-noble, but always hilarious and kick-ass cop in a dusty, provincial town. The film could easily have been titled "The Adventures of Chulbul Pandey": Pandey-ji makes enemies with corrupt politicians; Pandey-ji fights with his brother; Pandey-ji navigates falling head-over-heels in love with the town beauty.Salman Khan's characterization of Chulbul Pandey is pitch-perfect; he's both vicious and vulnerable. And it has introduced a whole new set of trademark moves into the canon of Salman-the-superstar: the belt-buckle swagger, sunglasses hooked over the back of his shirt-collar, and wildly drunken dancing. The filmmakers found a perfect match in newcomer Sonakshi Sinha, who plays the female lead with sensitivity and understatement (in addition to which, she's stunning). Sonakshi and Salman look wonderful paired together.The songs - oh, the songs! The opening number, "Dabangg", is rhythmic and throbbing with simple yet highly effective choreography. The romantic "Tere Mast Do Nain" will have you falling in love and laughing at the same time. The supporting cast is excellent, from Arbaaz Khan as the slightly smarmy but not entirely bad brother (and Salman's real-life brother), to the sympathetic performance of Dimple Kapadia as the mother.In short, this film is everything a Hindi entertainer should be. Watch it.

Great foreign action movie
Man, I love this movie.It is delightfully farfetched and overacted, with the main character being a fantastic action hero - bold, brave, strong, impervious, and tenderly devoted to his woman. My favorite scene is the last one, when the hero is celebrating his victory, and a lackey bursts in. The music stops and all eyes turn to him.To paraphrase: "Sir! Sir! The man you just killed, he has a brother! ""Yeah, so? ""What if he comes seeking revenge?!"(smiling, and breaking the fourth wall) "Let him come! "Cue Dabangg 2.The best known song from the movie, Tere Mast Mast Do Nain, is enchanting, and worth looking up.

Salman with a bang
Certain holidays in India belong to stars that choose to release their movies on those days and ensuring they become a hit. Aamir Khan ahs released his last two films on Decemeber 25th i.e Ghajini and 3 Idiots. Salman had his last hit released on Eid i.e. Wanted and this year he seems to have secured Eid as his day of release with Dabanng.Hell bent on shattering records it has earned in two weeks what Ghajini did over its entire lifetime, Dabanng is the flavor of the season, like an old wine in a new bottle. In a gist the story is of two step brothers Salman ( Chulbul Pandey ) and Arbaaz Khan ( Makhichand Panday ) harbor small time resentment towards each other when a serious event turns in to deadly enmity. The movie is essentially driven by treatment of the subject and by witty dialogue and some superb fight sequences especially in the opening scene, the railway station and in the climax. The music is also great with some exceptional tracks including the title track and has been filmed extremely well. I was disappointed in the item number by Malaika Arora because I thought she did not exude the necessary raunchiness that the song required. There are also several character artistes but they are hardly there, Anupam Kher, Mahesh Manjrekar , Dimple Kapadia and Vinod Khanna are wasted. Sonakshi Sinha sparkles and oozes freshness in every scene, the camera makes her look radiant from all angles. The movie right from the opening scenes till the end belongs to Salman Khan, who displays his star power by transforming himself completely in the role of Chulbul Robinhood Panday. This is Salman like you have never seen before, I think he is the sole reason that the movie worked. He shines through the film and will be remembered for this for a long time to come. This is a ground breaking film for him, he finds himself and delivers entertainment that will find new fans and loyalists to love him even more. Last year he gave us Wanted and this year Dabanng with the ending lines suggesting a sequel. Go and watch this one for pure entertainment and paisa vasooli......4 stars 9/23/10

DABANGG........fun action flix.. dance and music numbers ahead........
THIS WAS AN EXCELLENT QUALITY DVD FULFILLED BY AMAZON FOR PLANET BOLLYWOOD.ENTERTAINING . GOOD CHOREOGRAPHING OF FIGHT SCENES ..Perfect amount of empathy and romance thrown in for consumption for both sexes . As is typical in cop dramas all characters are ambiguous with both good and bad . His love interest is stoically suffering the pain of an alcoholic father wasting her life. He finally does her one good favor and she is married at last. Possible happiness ahead. Political corruption also displayed. It's woven into the plot, is pertinent to show how things work and you are not beaten over the head with it. The main villain is played effectively by the very handsome Sonu Sood. All the supporting actors including Mr Khans brother do a fine job.BOUGHT IT THROUGH PLANET BOLLYWOOD FULFILLED BY AMAZON. PERFECT CONDITION. NO QUALITY ISSUES WITH THIS MOVIE. Played it several times to be sure. .
